Sea Scribe | Andrew van der Merwe’s Amazing Beach Calligraphy

Sand art is a very tedious but creative art form. Sand castles and sculptures have always dominated in the form of display. South African artist Andrew van der Merwe has taken sand art to a whole new level. He took the classic art form of calligraphy and did it in the sand.

Calligraphy is usually seen on pen & paper. Seeing it in the sands of the sandy beaches of Cape Town is a very interesting visual. The vast shoreline allows van der Merwe to utilize the sands as his pad. The large scales designs didn’t need elaborate tools to create. All that was needed was creativity and a little bucket. It’s amazing how a person can bring their visuals to life. Check out some of his work below and check out his Written Word page for more of his creations.
